The extra battery adds 3.5 grams for a AUW of 56.5 grams but thrust has increased from about 9 grams to about 14.5 grams. I think it was a good weight/thrust trade off.

My $2 pack of replacement 50 mAh batteries for the Corsair arrived this morning, as did an idea I got from a website who I can't site due to uhhhh... operator error on a computer operating system upgrade last weekend. To the post office!

Covered with tissue and am working on the canopy pieces. Forgot to use black tissue so I have to paint the nose, but it should be fine. Esitmated AUW is 20 grams plus the weight of crystal clear and decals.

The interior of the doors were lined in padded leather, so was the large head rest, as was the front of the pit over the inst. panel. Gumby will never be a Boris, but he is all that I have now!
